About Me

Howdy! Welcome to my little blog. I am mom to an animal crazy, lizard chasing 7 year old girl and wife to a Maple Leaf, Blue Jay loving Canadian. I served 10 years in the public school system and now teach preschool 3 days a week. I love to read and hate the phone. You will find a little bit of everything on here. I'm cool like that.

We tend to focus on the bad things that have happened to us or worry about the negative possibilities ahead. But just as suddenly and quickly as a bad thing can happen, something wonderful can happen. We can be blessed at the most unexpected moments, but we're never waiting, focusing or hoping for that. Instead we're either waiting for or trying to avoid the bad. I will begin to expect something wonderful to happen at any moment. After all, I have already been blessed a thousand times over, why would I not expect for it to happen again and again and again?

--People's character can be judged by how they handle their money, how they handle their drink and how they handle their anger. I like this last part. It accepts that we all at times feel anger or other less than lovely emotions, but that we have choices in how we handle those feelings.

and no blog post would be complete without pictures so here are a couple of Abby making some new friends while at a zoo in Canada.
